TIlis increase is <br /> <br />determined by comparing values of future production with and without the <br /> <br />project. The increased market value, net of associated costs, may be <br /> <br />used to measure commereia.l fish and wildlife benefits. <br /> <br />, <br />1,'/ <br /> <br />3-18 <br />
